2025 HONDA ODYSSEY — Complaint #2142036
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY filed October 22, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2142036 (ODI reference 11694918) concerns a 2025 HONDA ODYSSEY and was filed on October 22, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 29, 2025. The report was geocoded to New Jersey based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment adaptive/mobility, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ODYSSEY cohort independently describe similar equipment adaptive/mobility failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2025 HONDA ODYSSEY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Hand control device for disabled drivers is correctly installed under the stearing wheel and works as intended. However, device has several very sharp right angle and corner points that, in the event of a collision, the sharp (not rounded) areas would severely damage driver's knees.
